I don't know what happened here but all of my tasks are not running. They start run for a second or two, get a fraction of a percentile done then just stop utilizing the video card. The timer in boinc is running but no progress is being done and I can see they are not hitting the cards for any work.

This just happened out of the blue that I can see, I do have the latest Nvidia drivers I loaded in a week or so ago and I don't recall any updates that might have caused any problems.

I tried restarting my computer / boinc but no help.

Any ideas?
Thank you
Aaron

IM getting zero output file errors every few minutes and it slams the fan on my card and resets the task.

It is also showing my video cards in like slots 7 and 8. I believe the should be slot 0 and 1 or is that moot?

This has been going on a few days, I reset the project and aborted a few tasks thinking they were the problem to find it's ongoing.

I see this is an issue that is known?? Any etr?

Thank you
Aaron

Been getting beta's good part of the day and so far they seem to be running well.

I am running two GTX570's on a 6 core.
They seem to be taking just over an hour to run.

Seen a cuda 40 come through too. Ran well.

I like the badge thing, it gives us something to show off and hopefully attract other people to the project with.

I had to put a new power supply in my system when I got the GTX570. That thing will take a LOT of amps just by itself when you load it up. I dont remember the numbers but I think mine was asking for 190 Watts from 0 to full processor loading on the card. If I am not mistaken the card recommends a 550 watt supply at the very minimum. Now don't forget any other stuff you have in your system, RAMdisk, multiple HDD's, a lot of ram, a 6 core processor??? all that stuff EATS power quickly.

I put a 1KW supply in my computer and it keeps everything running fine, AFTER I burnt my earlier 600 watt supply up.

Don't be cheap with your PS, if the thing cooks off, you could get a shot of your mains power straight up your cards backside before the fuse blows. Although it would look awesome, a GTX is a fairly expensive paperweight. Power supply manufacturers may claim that can never happen but I have a hard drive with chips blown off the board to prove otherwise.

I just put one in my machine and I can't get it to grab any tasks. I guess Ill have to play around with it a bit more. I have the updated drivers right off the website, is there anything else I need to do?

THank you
